My only interaction with the KeePas* suite resulted in not being able to read 
the database after an upgrade/update/something.

I don’t remember which it was (2, x, whatever).  The machine is at home.  I’ll 
have to look, but I’m hoping we’ll get some reaction and info that maybe will 
point to a solution for me as well…

Subject: KeePass2 versus KeePassX

Happy New Year to everyone!!

I have been using KeePass2 on my Ubuntu machine for over 10 years (through 
wine), and I just discovered KeePassX as a native application. I use Keepass2 
primarily as a password backup, as I also use LastPass with the chrome 
extension for my day to day password manager.

I have a couple of questions about moving from KeePass2/wine to KeePassX.

I found in one post that the differences that the database files are binary 
compatible. 
(https://superuser.com/questions/878902/whats-the-difference-between-keepass-and-keepassx).
 Can anyone confirm this?

The only other difference (other that GUI related stuff) is that KeePass2 has 
plugins and KeePassX does not. I am not using any plugins now. Are there any 
that you think are really valuable to have, and would be a reason not to switch?

Should I switch to KeePassX? I am assuming I can get rid of wine and save some 
disk space, and run a native application instead of a wine application.

Thanks!

Mark
